This comes down to minimizing light exposure so greening does not occur to the potatoes.

Uncooked, peeled potatoes will start to turn brown quickly due to exposure to air. To prevent this, place peeled or cut potatoes in a bowl of cool water until ready to use (up to 2 hours).

Store your potatoes in a cool, dark place for the best results. The target temperature range should be 45-55 degrees F, which should allow your potatoes to last for several weeks in most situations.

Yes, you can. Simply pick off the sprouts and you they are good to use. Those sprouts are the result of potatoes “waking up” after being exposed to warm temperatures.

No, but they should be stored in a cool, dark place. The optimum temperature range is 45-55 degrees F, which allows potatoes to last for several weeks, depending on storage conditions.

It’s actually not a good idea to wash your potatoes before storing them. Dampness can promote early spoilage, so you want to avoid that.

Look for potatoes that are firm in texture, do not have any visible greening, and are free of cuts, bruises or sprouts.
